First Grade Ceramic Texture Bowls

1st grade had just finished up a project about artist Jasper Johns and his use of the Alphabet when I had this great idea! I knew I wanted to move onto clay and I wanted there to be a connection with the Jasper John's use of letters and numbers. I decided to incorporate alphabet and number stamps in the texture options of the bowls and they turned out really cool! I used the slap roller to roll out slabs and they cut out their own bowl shape with a pattern. Then they explored a variety of stamps to create texture in their bowls.
